I have to say that I like the gitk way better. There is the issue of over-scrolling. I often want to quickly scan through the diff, so I scroll pretty quickly and it switches over when I reach the end. I understand the reason to not calculate the diff until it's requested. I think I might like it if only message is shown initially and when user scrolls at -- or rather past -- the end, the diff would be APPENDED to it. That way the scrolling would look more natural, while still only generating the diff only on request. --=20 Jan 'Bulb' Hudec --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGXyhxRel1vVwhjGURAmafAKCkeMriBYHTRNCCPnZotcoriLvqagCfWw5j OpNLB/XPceb6LhrZIQJRuHc= =wiEk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB--
